Wouldn’t this look festive with a red holiday sweater? These ruby red beauties were plucked from the shores of Seaham Beach in England and delicately placed inside this teardrop filigree locket. There’s only one and it’s available in my Etsy shop!

I found the Holy Grail. Ruby red. Fully cooked. And a good size. And guess what? I so wanted to share my discovery with the world, but my Tamron zoom lens broke. On a positive side, I’ve been eyeing a new macro lens for months. Finally I have an excuse to buy it. I’ll have to forgoe vacations for the next year, but at least I’ll be able to take amazing macro shots of sea glass.

So, until I make my purchase, you’ll just have to take my word for it that it’s a beauty. And because I can’t write a post without including photos, here is a shot in black and white. It’s really uncommon to find photos of sea glass in black and white. I think white sea glass is especially photogenic in black and white and I can’t wait to experiment more with b & w using my new lens.
